How would you like to tell your cellmates you were beaten up by a mob of teenaged girls?

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A man described by authorities as a known sexual predator was chased through the streets of South Philadelphia by an angry crowd of Catholic high school girls, who kicked and punched him after he was tackled by neighbors, police said on Friday.

Rudy Susanto, 25, who had exposed himself to teen-age girls on as many as seven occasions outside St. Maria Goretti School, struck again on Thursday just as students were being dismissed, police said.

But this time, a group of girls in school uniforms angrily confronted Susanto with help from some neighbors, police said. When Susanto tried to run, more than 20 girls chased him down the block. Two men from the neighborhood caught him and the girls took their revenge.

"The girls came and started kicking him and punching him, so I wasn't going to stop them," neighbor Robert Lemons told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Susanto was later treated for injuries at a local hospital. Police said he would be charged with 14 criminal counts including harassment, disorderly conduct, open lewdness and corrupting the morals of a minor.

Jennifer Larson of Jennifer's History and Stuff is interviewing me. She needs questions! She needs 'em quick, as the cut-off is midnight CST...today!

I will, of course, link to this when it's available to be read. Jennifer's e-mail is jenlars@hotmail.com.

She's interviewing others as well, so please be sure to tell her that the question is geared toward me. All questions will be anonymous in origin.

(If you don't send her questions, then I'll be forced to answer such inane standbys as "what are the names of your neighbors' 10 gerbils?)

US surgeons part twins.

I always thought it was that humans were all twins or not twins at all. What one can learn from Europe!

At first I thought the "s" on Associates was a typo. Damned literalist that I am.

That's right, folks, it's the 2003 Rock Paper Scissors International Championships.

Ohhhhhhh, baby! I like this tool. This is how Brian and I decide who's driving and who's drinking (and, darnit, he is pretty good at guessing my pysche at any given moment and knowing when to pull that paper move, sigh).

Still - got an argument over something stupid and inane? Rock Paper Scissors it. There, you feel much better now.

When comments bring him hate spam, Frank J. gives the rest of us a really good post.

Bless Ronin! (Is that grammatically correct, Frank? I don't think so.)

I found this test via The Speculist

I liked it, and it appeared to be fairly accurate. The results came up with two types, one, a Linguistic Thinker (oh, definitely), and the other was an Intrapersonal Thinker. I'd have to say that's true, too.

Enjoy.

The phrase of the day is "frisky unibrow." No, seriously. Unibrow came from the same wordsmith, just several hours later.

Incorporate THAT one in your blogs for me (or not).

FRISKY!

But make sure you use it with a Spanish accent for the proper effect.

I'm surprised Electric Venom didn't snap this puppy up with a giant gulp.

Man bitten in Wal-Mart by a snake?

HUH?

What sorts of scenarios can we paint here given such limited information?

I'll give you two, but these are dull. It happened this way, or it didn't. Oh, I guess the snake could be a reincarnation of Sam Walton, and it was displeased with the man - that's kinda a sub-situation.
